You may think that pancit molo is a noodle recipe because of the term pancit. But in reality, there are no noodles used to prepare this dish. Instead of noodles, wrappers for molo, siomai or wonton are used to enclose the fillings which usually include meat, shrimps, carrots and other vegetables similar to the fillings used in lumpia shanghai.
